Product details
Overview
CY74FCT244CTSOC from Texas Instruments is an octal 3-state noninverting buffer/line driver designed for memory address, clock, and bus-oriented signal transmission in TTL- and CMOS-compatible systems. It delivers 4.1 ns max propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), 64 mA sink / 32 mA source output drive, and operates across –40°C to +85°C with 4.75 V–5.25 V supply. Used in industrial control backplanes and legacy data bus interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the CY74FCT244CTSOC datasheet, CY74FCT244CTSOC pinout, CY74FCT244CTSOC application, or CY74FCT244CTSOC equivalent, key selection criteria include 3-state enable timing (tPZH/tPLZ ≤ 5.8 ns), Ioff partial-power-down support, edge-rate controlled noise immunity, and SOIC-20 package compatibility with legacy 5 V logic buses.
Technical Context
This device implements dual independent 4-bit noninverting buffer sections, each controlled by separate 3-state enable inputs (OEA and OEB). Its FCT-family architecture provides TTL-compatible input thresholds (VIH = 2 V, VIL = 0.8 V) and CMOS-level output swing (VOH = 2.4 V min at IOH = –32 mA, VOL = 0.55 V max at IOL = 64 mA).
The integrated edge-rate control circuitry limits slew rate to reduce simultaneous switching noise, while the Ioff feature disables outputs and limits leakage to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V-enabling safe hot-insertion and partial power-down operation in mixed-supply systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Propagation Delay | Max 4.1 ns (tPLH/tPHL); enables high-speed 5 V bus interfacing up to ~100 MHz toggle rate. |
| Output Drive | 64 mA sink / 32 mA source per pin; drives heavy capacitive loads (e.g., >100 pF) and multiple TTL inputs without external buffers. |
| Supply Range | 4.75 V–5.25 V; tightly regulated 5 V operation ensures compatibility with legacy TTL and mixed-voltage 5 V systems. |
| Ioff Current | ±1 µA at VCC = 0 V; prevents backflow current during partial power-down, protecting powered-down subsystems. |
| ESD Protection | 2000-V HBM, 200-V MM, 1000-V CDM; meets industrial handling requirements without additional protection circuitry. |
| Operating Temp | –40°C to +85°C; qualified for extended-temperature industrial and automotive under-hood auxiliary modules. |
Pinout & Package
Package: SOIC-20 (DW), 7.5 mm × 12.8 mm body, 1.27 mm pitch, 2.65 mm max height, RoHS-compliant NiPdAu lead finish, MSL Level-1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 19 | OEA / OEB | Active-low 3-state enable inputs controlling Group A (pins 2–9) and Group B (pins 18–11) independently. |
| 2–5, 18–15 | DA0–DA3 / DB0–DB3 | Noninverting data inputs for respective buffer groups; TTL/CMOS compatible with 0.8 V/2.0 V thresholds. |
| 3–6, 17–14 | OA0–OA3 / OB0–OB3 | 3-state buffered outputs; high-impedance when corresponding OE is high; full drive strength when enabled. |
| 10 | GND | Digital ground reference; must be low-inductance connection to minimize ground bounce in high-speed switching. |
| 20 | VCC | 5 V power supply; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling adjacent to pin to suppress switching noise. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Edge-rate control | Controlled output slew reduces simultaneous switching noise (SSN), enabling stable operation on dense PCBs with >50 pF load. |
| Ioff partial-power-down | Outputs disable safely at VCC = 0 V, allowing live insertion into powered backplanes without damaging downstream logic. |
| TTL/CMOS interoperability | Direct interface with 5 V TTL, NMOS, and CMOS without level shifters-input VIH/VIL and output VOH/VOL meet both families' specs. |
| Matched rise/fall times | tPLH ≈ tPHL ensures symmetrical waveform edges, minimizing duty cycle distortion in clock distribution paths. |
Applications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar octal 3-state buffer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SN74FCT244CTSOCT | Same FCT family, identical 4.1 ns speed grade and SOIC-20 package; TI second-source part with identical electrical specs. | No functional or layout difference; fully interchangeable in existing designs. | Select when sourcing flexibility or dual-sourcing strategy is required. |
| 74ACT244SCX | Higher drive (24 mA source / 24 mA sink), slower (8 ns max), no Ioff or edge-rate control; ACT-family, 5 V only. | Lacks partial-power-down and noise control; unsuitable for hot-swap or high-noise environments. | Use only in cost-sensitive, static 5 V systems where noise and power sequencing are not concerns. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for CY74FCT244CTSOC?
CY74FCT244CTSOC is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C ambient temperature, making it suitable for industrial control cabinets, factory automation panels, and outdoor telecom enclosures where thermal cycling occurs. This range is validated per JEDEC JESD78 and confirmed in the official TI datasheet SCCS071.
Does CY74FCT244CTSOC support partial-power-down functionality?
Yes, CY74FCT244CTSOC includes Ioff circuitry that disables all outputs and limits leakage current to ±1 µA when VCC = 0 V. This allows safe insertion into live backplanes and prevents current backflow in mixed-power-domain systems-confirmed in the "Recommended Operating Conditions" and "Electrical Characteristics" tables of the CY74FCT244CTSOC datasheet.
What is the typical output voltage swing for CY74FCT244CTSOC at full load?
At VCC = 5.25 V and IOL = 64 mA, CY74FCT244CTSOC guarantees VOL ≤ 0.55 V; at IOH = –32 mA, VOH ≥ 2.4 V. These values ensure robust noise margins (>0.4 V) when driving standard TTL inputs and are measured under worst-case conditions per the TI SCCS071 test methodology.
Is CY74FCT244CTSOC pin-compatible with other FCT244 variants?
Yes, CY74FCT244CTSOC shares identical SOIC-20 pinout and logic function with CY74FCT244DTSOC (3.6 ns), CY74FCT244ATSOC (4.6 ns), and CY74FCT244TSOC (6.5 ns). All variants use the same pin mapping, enable polarity, and truth table-only propagation delay and drive strength differ per speed grade.
What package type and moisture sensitivity level does CY74FCT244CTSOC use?
CY74FCT244CTSOC uses the SOIC-20 (DW) package with NiPdAu lead finish and is rated MSL Level-1 (unlimited floor life at ≤30°C/60% RH), per TI's Package Option Addendum. The 12.83 mm × 7.5 mm body and 1.27 mm pitch align with IPC-7351 SOIC standards for automated assembly.
